Chapter 14: The Healing.

Angela’s head was spinning, and every inch of her body ached. She could hear voices—familiar ones—but everything felt like a blur. At first, she panicked, thinking Alpha Hiro was still playing tricks on her. Her heart pounded as fear crept in. What now?

Then she felt a hand on her. A gentle touch that sent shivers down her spine.

"Take off his shirt," someone said.

Her heart skipped. What kind of twisted mind game was this now? Her shirt?

But then it happened again—that soft touch. It wasn’t rough or forceful. It was warm, careful. It made her feel safe in a way she didn’t expect. A small smile tugged at her lips before she even realized it. For a second, she wanted that feeling to last.

"What’s wrong with him?" another voice asked.

That’s when it hit her. This wasn’t a trick. It wasn’t a dream. This was real.

Her eyes flew open despite the pain screaming through her back. She wasn’t on the Initiation grounds anymore. She was in her room. Kaito was standing nearby, arms crossed, and Taros was right beside her.

"He’s awake," Taros said, his hand still on her shirt.

She blinked. Her heart thudded faster.

"T-Taros? Is this real?" Her voice came out shaky.

"Yeah, it’s real," he said softly, sitting beside her. "You passed out. We were about to take your shirt off to treat your wound."

"Oh... I—" She stopped mid-sentence.

The words hit her like cold water. They were going to take off her shirt.

No. She couldn’t let that happen. Not now. Not ever.
